Dear Sirs: I am asking if any other members have used the firm Osrodek Badan Genealogicznych PIAST recently. My dilemna is as follows: My original inquiry was in July 2006. It was acknowledged, and payment was made by bank wire in October 2006. Various e-mails have told me,  that we have a very non responsive Roman Catholic priest at the parish of Debowiec in the Rzeszow area. Apparently the records have not been filmed, and the only recourse is to physically visit the church.  
My questions are: Is this time frame typical? Do I have any recourse? 
Thank you for any feedback  you can provide me! 6/2007
